Hello, I've been using sigrok for a while for various purposes and one thing that really stands out about it is the number and features of protocol decoders.
I work with embedded hardware a lot and sometimes it would be useful to have a tool to analyze a bunch of signals exported from either an embedded logic analyzer inside an FPGA design or from an RTL simulation. This would open a whole new area for protocol decoders. For example, one could make a decoder for a system bus (AHB, AXI, ChipLink, etc) so it's easier to debug the design from a more high-level point of view. Commercial tools for this task do exist but they're usually expensive and serve a different purpose: rather than analysis, they're often focused on verification and are accompanied by additional verification IP. So, as far as I understand, in terms of libsigrok an implementation of that would need: 1. New packet type which would carry a number of bits for each sample 2. Code for VCD import/export 3. PulseView waveform display Is this something libsigrok could have? Any comments on possible implementation details?
